More WWII revisionism on TuCa

One flake talking to another with every distorted absurdity thrown out containing a trite kernel of truth. Happens everyday in coffee and doughnut shops and bars. Now and then on TV and podcasts. This is one such example

Clickbait.

I honestly can't tell whether some of the people responding to the thread in X are actual Nazi sympathisers or are being ironic.

I couldn’t read any responses as I am not registered on X. I could view the short video clip.

Nothing novel or new with his distorted view. The view that Harry Hopkins was a Soviet asset has been bandied for decades. Most recently, in Sean McKeen’s well written and researched, Stalin’s War. Personally I do not believe Hopkins was a traitorous Soviet asset . Rather, he, like many Americans in WWII, actually believed the Soviets were allies in the same way as Britain and being the only remaining continental power in to fight the Nazis deserved all the support the US could provide. Stalin, was the Allied forces co-belligerent against the Nazis and later, Japanese Empire. Nothing more. I believe deep down Churchill understood that, although Hopkins and possibly Roosevelt did not. They instead saw Stalin as a true ally.
